Re: determine if a value exist in the following-siblin

Typically use normalize-space() to check for non-whitespace content.

To check that the first <amount> following sibling has a value with
something in it:

following-sibling::amounts[1]/value[normalize-space(.)]

For any remove the [1], or to check that the very next element is an <amount>

following-sibling::*[1][self::amounts]/.....
